WATERS Western News Service Sacramento (WNS)—A Senate Interim Committee studying public lands has requested of the State Division of Beaches and Parks an accounting of its property holdings. Still waiting since last summer, this legislative committee will be interested to know the reason its request has not been complied with is because of the fear of criticism such a report might bring. A rapidly expanding agency of government, beaches and parks has grown from a pre-war status of a little $200,000 per year agency to its present annual average of the past three years of more than $7 millions. Nice Houses One of the big items in this program has been the development of private residences within state parks for the benefit of state employees. More than $1,356,000 has been spent to build homes averaging $15,000 each for state park officials. Any report submitted to the senate committee would show this to be twice the amount of money spent to develop picnic and camping units for the public. Senator Edwin J. Regan of Weaerville is chairman of the committee which seeks to determine the extent to which government has developed public lands. Regan is also the author of a bill which the senate and the governor last year approved over the objections of A. E. Henning, chief of state beaches and parks. Since the passage of the Regan bill, which requires the beaches and parks to grant access through state parks to lumber interests which have no other egress from their property, Henning has not granted one permit to cross state property. Forstall Action By the device of asking the attorney general of California for his opinion as to the legal aspects of the measure written by Regan, a successful lawyer in his own right, New Automotive Accessory Store Opens Thursday Anaheim's newest downtown business, the American Auto Store at 117 North Los Angeles street, will observe its grand opening this Thursday with a special sale. Carrying a complete line of automotive parts and accessories the new store is both a retail and wholesale outlet. It is the fourth store to be opened by the firm which has stores in Wilmington, El Monte and Long Beach. B. R. Watson of Anaheim and a partner in the company will manage the local store. The building has been completely redecorated including a new modern exterior and featuring the latest interior furniture and fixtures. Wilbert J. Martin Visits in Anaheim, Childhood Home Wilbert J. Martin, a former resident of Anaheim and now residing with a daughter in El Segundo, was an Anaheim visitor last Monday, renewing old acquaintances in this city which he left in September, 1879. A native of Santa Cruz, Mr. Martin came to Anaheim with his family when he was seven years of age. That was in 1858, about 11 years after the Anaheim post office was established. Since the passage of the Regan bill, which requires the beaches and parks to grant access through state parks to lumber interests which have no other egress from their property, Henning has not granted one permit to cross state property. Forstall Action By the device of asking the attorney general of California for his opinion as to the legal aspects of the measure written by Regan, a successful lawyer in his own right, Henning has forestalled action on the Regan bill for many months. Beaches and parks, by bottling up lumber owners who are cut off from access to public roads by state park boundaries, apparently seek to expand the state property holdings which lie behind state parks and are therefore valueless unless the state grants easements through its property. That this was part of the plan is evidenced by the notices sent to lumber owners who sought permission to cross state property. From these, beaches and parks asked a deed to their holdings in return for permission to cross the state park. Not Proper The attorney general ruled this was not proper but granted favorable opinions as to charges which the state agency proposed. Lumber interests state that such charges as have been suggested would be prohibitive. This is part of the material which the senate committee would gather if the state beaches and parks through its chief Henning can be brought before the committee to testify. On the surface it would appear that the state agency has been carving for its own people rather than the public and is seeking to amass larger property holdings instead of making improvements for the public's benefit on the 8 parcels of property it now owns. Wilbert J. Martin, a former resident of Anaheim and now residing with a daughter in El Segundo, was an Anaheim visitor last Monday, renewing old acquaintances in this city which he left in September, 1879. A native of Santa Cruz, Mr. Martin came to Anaheim with his family when he was seven years of age. That was in 1858, about 11 years after the Anaheim post office was established. The Martin family lived in the old Coyote house, an adobe structure well known in those days. He first attended school in this city in a small school near the corner of what is now Center and Los Angeles streets. One of the teachers in the school was Prof. Guinn. He resided here when the flourishing city's first hotel, The Planters, was built, also located at Center and Los Angeles streets, a frame building which was burned and rebuilt a time or two. The old landmarks that Mr. Martin knew so well in his early youth are now gone and replaced by more modern buildings and streets where there were only dirt streets are now paved. New homes have sprung up in 'the open country' of his youth and old playmates are almost gone, having answered the call of their Master, many of them years and years ago. Mr. Martin recalls that he was a schoolmate of the late Henry Kuchel, father of the pres-publisher of the Gazette and Thomas H. Kuchel, State Controller.
